Documentation: Admin Notes

Changelog

Admin Notes - v1.5.3 5 6

1 September 2026

  • Security: saving a note now only reacts to the module its own save button, so a form elsewhere on the same page can no longer overwrite your note with an empty one
  • Security: when no user groups or users are configured, editing is now limited to Super Users instead of open to everyone with backend access
  • Security: the helper plugin for update logging is only installed when the update server supplies a valid checksum for it, and only from the Joomill update server

Admin Notes - v1.5.2 5 6

1 August 2026

  • Change: PHP file headers updated to the standard Joomla docblock copyright format; code style only, no functional changes
  • Change: full code style pass against the Joomla CMS phpcs ruleset (PSR-12): phpcbf auto-fixes for indentation, line endings, brace placement and whitespace, plus phpcs annotations for deliberate exceptions (`_JEXEC` guards, legacy global class names, legacy API naming). Code style only, no functional changes
  • Language: es-ES language (thanks to Andrés Restrepo | alamarte.com)
